The irony being I won’t be sleeping.
Also, this is not an efficient way to manage cooling and energy.
Some journalist-type person published these new cooling standards on twitter, and the responses are quite funny.
“I see we’ve decided to give up on sleeping. Or going home for that matter. Or having pets that aren’t native to the rain forest.” (link)
“I’ve already embraced a dying Earth, so I keep my central air between 67-72 at all times.” (link)
“I’d be laying there making a giant sweat angel in my bed” (link)
““New report shows these as the recommended temps for smelling like an onion.” (link)
“I have no idea how my ancestors survived deserts. If the thermostat in my house showed a number that started with an 8 I would call the police” (link)
ht/ all too much
I even drive my car with the air on and the windows open.
Oh FTS! It’s 82 degrees OUTSIDE my house at 4am.
Kiss my dewey ass.
Way to warm for wintertime sleeping unless using a wood stove.
How do you say ‘screw you’ in Floridan?
These LOONS never cease and that is why they are dangerous.
My standard in the car is before 85ish degrees no a/c depending on humidity.
Going to sleep? It IS nice to have at least 76…when it is 82, haha, at night in a heat wave!
IF it was 82 upstairs, which it can be with no a/c regardless of this suggested nonsense, I would be lying on the floor in the basement with a ten degree difference.
” If the thermostat in my house showed a number that started with an 8 I would call the police”
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Win for the ages.
oh sure, I’ll do it … just as soon as Nan ‘the fossil’ Pelosi, Kamala Mattress & Occasional-Cortex lead by example
… waiting …..………
I sleep naked with two thin comforters, the ceiling fan on and the thermostat set at 74. So what!
^^^^ same here, ‘cept my ‘stats set @ 72, but only one comforter … my bad ^^^^
This…THIS…is why they’re pushing “smart” homes and thermostats. The fucking busybodies want to control every aspect of our lives because they have such pathetic empty lives of their own. The setting on my thermostat is nobody’s fucking business but mine and my wife’s.
Proposed by someone who shares a two bedroom apartment with 5 other bicycle riding environmentalists whose combined income can’t afford air conditioning.
I’m so cool when i walk into a room the heater kicks on.
OH sure, we can all suffer as the ‘elites’ dispense their ideologies on us plebs while they enjoy all that life has to offer. All the while our suffering has absolutely NO effect on the county, state, country nor the world.
PHUCK the ‘elites’ and all they stand for.
On top of that….I PAY out of my pocket for whatever ‘luxuries’ I enjoy.
My thermostat is set at 76 degrees and I sleep with just a sheet in summer. When I wake at 2am, I throw off the sheet and finally get up to change it to 74.
You can pry my thermostat from my warm dead hands!
@ Uncle Al – completely agree about the smart thermostat stuff. I will not install ANY of that “I’m SMAT, I KNOW” stuff in the house. I guess one of my points is that the left has no monopoly on the environment or other topic.
All,
I just try to be a conservationist and trying to pay BILLS @Aaron at the same time as sleeping!!
Energy = power/resources + money
78 during the day, 75 at night, but I spend most of the time in the basement where it’s 62 with a space heater at my feet.
i could get 45 mpg too if I drove my car at 50 mpg but i’m not doing that either.
I drive, sometimes, a ’73 Beetle. Get about 100 ambient and it’s, “Uhh, a bit hot in this bitch…”
Other than that it’s a really good car. I can wear almost no clothes and be pretty happy with it. In my underwear. Cop pulls you over and asks, “Is that…? What is that?”
“It’s hot in this motherfucker.” But it is still cooler than any telephone truck.
“Why are you not wearing much clothing?”
“It’s hot.”
“You don’t have no AC?”
“It’s a ’73 Beetle. Kinda hot. We got vent windows and shit.”
“I can see your titties, and your dick.”
“You know, it’s kinda hot out here.”
Stays 70 in my house year round. Would be set colder if I wanted to have a higher utility bill. I dislike hot weather. Anything over 80 is too hot.
I’m at 65 to 68. Bite me.
I can’t sleep when it’s 75, so unless they want to pay my electric bill, please go pound sand.
This is like when they wanted us to have our thermostat set at 72 in the winter but Obama needed the White House much hotter because, get this, he was from Hawaii (lived in Chicago for years).
Charlie WalksonWater – Hillary’s Gynochologist said the same thing when she puts her feet in the stirrups…
My t-stat code stays at a constant 88. Heil Hitler!
My county govt office is 68. I have a sedentary job so i am freezing. I put on a sweater in August. The asshole who is keeper of the thermostat is from Malaysia, in the equatorial zone, where the average annual temp is 98.
Two of the women in my office are menopausal.
It’s terrible. I go outside several times a day to thaw out.
“Also, this is not an efficient way to manage cooling and energy.”
Uhhh, this is because all the solar generation is offline. Requiring that natural gas generating be placed online and burning fossil fuel. They hates that.
Solar and wind don’t replace any generating capacity, they just make you cycle your fossil fuel plants on and off. Which generally is the worst thing to do to them.
I’ll set mine to 82……in December.
I sleep in my underwear with no sheets over me this time of year and the fan on and I’m perfectly comfortable. Of course I can get away with this since I’m single.
When “They’re” paying my electric bill, maybe then they can tell me how much I can use. Until then, MYOB.
If you mess with a Texan’s air conditioning, you’re messing with fire.
geoff the aardvark, I used to sleep neekid until my sister moved in with me.
